rolodex.jpgThe government’s stimulus cheerleading sign approach to economic prosperity may be tough to justify from an efficient use of funds perspective, but it does require people to make the signs and then place them every 150 feet. So at least it’s not a complete fraud from an employment perspective. For that, Minneapolis based Arthur Group has got you covered.
As one of the pioneers in the job fraud market, Arthur Group capitalized on the near double digit unemployment to convince desperate job seekers that their investment of several thousand per month would pay off in the end. By leveraging their one-of-a-kind Rolodex, the headhunting firm promised access to the “hidden job market” which, shockingly enough never materialized. With Minnesota Attorney General’s Office filing suit against Arthur Group, it appears the prospects for those looking to hide the hidden job market aren’t looking so good as well.

    Could somebody please tell me what the fuck this means:
    “The government’s stimulus cheerleading sign approach to economic prosperity may be tough to justify from an efficient use of funds perspective, but it does require people to make the signs and then place them every 150 feet.”

    Greg,
    Don’t write about clowns in Minnesota getting ripped off and tell me it is relevant to anyone here.

    Greg, you’re an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a dirty diaper.

    @3
    I think Greg’s hyphen key is broken.

    @3 — I believe the translation is, “Every two child did. I will.”

    Greg,
    I wouldn’t have invented the English Language if I had known you would be using it to write these abominations.

    In English, the average length of a sentence is 15-20 words. Greg’s sentences are 30 words plus.
    One could say that Greg has sentenced his readers to death.

    Greg,
    Two questions:
    1. Do you get paid per word written?
    D. Are you overcompensating for small genitalia by writing long confusing sentnecs?

    What does this:
    “The government’s stimulus cheerleading sign approach to economic prosperity may be tough to justify from an efficient use of funds perspective, but it does require people to make the signs and then place them every 150 feet.”
    have to do with this:

    Seriously, you should consider applying to GMAC, Kaplan etc. and be the guy who makes up sentence correction questions.
    You can confuse an entire generation of test-takers your lethal writing skillz.

    I actually enjoy reading Greg’s articles now. The hilarious comments make up for his awful, awful writing, to bring his articles almost to the DB standard.
